derived from only the finest quality ingredients. Baia Pasta
is:

Well kneaded with cold water to create a compact, fragrant dough
that maintains all of the original integrity of the flour.
Extruded gently in small batches through brass dies, giving the
pasta a rough surface that creates a good 'al dente' and absorbent
pasta.
Dried at low temperatures (never over 100 degrees F) to preserve
the original protein and gluten content of the wheat and maintain
its great flavor.

Baia Pasta is an Oakland based artisan food company founded by
Renato Sardo. Renato was born and raised in Piemonte, a region in
Northwestern Italy. The seed for Baia Pasta started when Renato
learned that most Italian pasta is made from American and Canadian
wheat that is shipped to Italy, made into pasta, and then shipped
back. After a few years of study, Renato extracted enough wisdom
from the Italian maestri to start extruding his own pastasciutta
made from an variety of grains from local farms. Enjoy!

If you are making a cooked sauce, such as marinara, reserve a small
ladleful of pasta water from the cooking water when it is drained.
Add this cooking water to the sauce along with the cooked pasta.
